More About Us

Who We Are

AdunaKids Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)3 Personal Empowerment Program, based in San Francisco, California.  We are dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty by helping underprivileged students achieve their goal of going to college, develop professional experience and become leaders in their respective communities.

What We Do

Our programs are empowerment spaces designed for four distinct groups: Grades PK-5, 6-8, 9-12 and college students. Centered around a storytelling arch, our student-centered approach aims at motivating, confidence-building and strengthening bonds between community members.

Our impact grows every day. With every event,  every wokshop, every seminar, we strive to motivate our 60+ volunteers, our 999+ readers and learners, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for our participants, not only in their matriculation to great universities, but also in their core belief system.
